Update from Carole

Hi all...
Bill is still recovering in San Joaquin Rehabilitation Hospital here in Fresno. He will most likely be there at least another week. His days are filled with Occupational Therapy, Physical therapy and general nursing care which keeps him busy. In between all of those tiring activities, he rests. He still has a considerable amount of pain for which he is being given fairly significant doses of pain medication...sometimes making him a bit groggy. It is a real balancing act to get the right amount of pain med on board so that he has tolerable pain and can participate in the therapy sessions and not make him too groggy so that he can't participate. He is slowly getting some strength and movement back in his lower extremities but too early to know how much will return. The medical team of therapists, nurses and physicians are outstanding and there is no doubt that he is getting the best of care.
Many thanks to all who have sent greetings, called, and kept him in your thoughts and prayers. You are most appreciated.
Peace....
Carole
